ORAVA - Singing folk group
In
a valley in the Orava region, under the mighty peak of Choc, lies
the picturesque town of Dolny Kubin. In these beautiful surroundings,
live a group of singers, with a sense of preserving and keeping
traditional folklore alive.
The
Singing folk group ORAVA started their activities with a Christmas
program back in 2000. This year our group has a reason to celebrate
and remind ourselves of all the achievements we gained in the past
5 years.
The
group's main goal is to retrieve, preserve and promote folk songs
and traditions from the Orava region and other regions in Slovakia
(i.e. Terchová, Horehron, Východ, Myjava etc.).
Amongst the repertoire of our group, apart from
folk Slovak song and traditions, are also songs and traditions with
religion and national themes. As we approach the fifth anniversary
of our first Christmas program, we have released an album of traditional
Slovak Christmas carols and folk songs. We hope that you will enjoy
our offering and that listening to these sounds of Slovakia will
make your Christmas a memorable one! |
